History: Originally, the camp was named Mulberry Grove because of a grove of wild mulberry trees that stood on a former Indian camping and hunting site, where the town was laid out. The stage coach line on the Military Road began in 1866. The post office at Mulberry Grove was established in 1869. It was a stopping place on the Military road. Mining began in the region in the 1870’s which led to its growth.
